Lumumba's Africa

Three days ago, I wrote about 'Juneteenth' Fest in countries in Africa. Let me share a Utube video in which Prof P L O Lumumba speaks about slavery, here.

In this morning's episode, he presented facts of Medical Apartheid by American doctors on African patients; he explains how doctors used to perform surgeries on African patients without administering any anesthesia and thereby made them suffer. I tried to provide a link to the episode, but in vain.

In one of my previous posts, I explained Academic apartheid in South African Secondary School System.

Though all the above mentioned issues are part of African History, they are not some things that African people can easily forget.
